🌟 Meet the magnificent Nico, an 8-year-old magnificently loving Mastiff/Malinois mix weighing in at a solid 65 pounds of pure heart! 💖 This gentle giant has traveled a road less taken, filled with ups and downs, but through it all, he's ready to find a forever home where he can thrive! Once embraced by a family that cherished their adventures together, life took a turn when the challenges of Covid forced them to downsize. Imagine Nico, a charming fellow, who had to leave behind the fun outings and cozy moments. But hold on—because every cloud has a silver lining, and Nico is prepared for a new chapter! 🌈 Nico's training is top-notch, thanks to the incredible Paws Behind Bars Prison Training Program. He's mastered basic commands and even knows impressive cues like "peak," "place," and he can tackle scent work like a pro! 🎓 This smart pooch is seeking a dog-savvy owner who understands the beauty of building a deep bond based on trust and respect. With an easygoing low energy level, Nico relishes the simple joys of life. His idea of paradise? Strolling through lush woods, basking in the sun on a comfy dog bed, and yes—those delightful car rides through drive-thrus where he can snag a tasty treat! 🍔 🌳 Nico does have a bit of a prey drive—so he dreams of being the one-and-only pup in a loving home where he can soak up all the attention he deserves. Picture this: Nico lounging in a peaceful yard, soaking in the sun while enjoying a tranquil life filled with walks and quiet moments. He might be a little hesitant in busy settings, yearning for the comforts of a loving family. Now picture your life transformed by the love of this big-hearted cuddler. 💕 Nico’s adoption fee is sponsored because who wouldn't want to help this charming boy find his forever home?
